pastel, with smokey overtones

My get-pushed-9 buddy Mel (@emjay8 ) asked me to photograph smoke. (I think my eyes are still red from having my head in the smoke for over an hour!!)

Photograph the smoke plume - invert, change the hue, then add some other elements. I 'recycled' the perfume bottle from one I had taken last year to save some time.
I think my push challenge last week has changed my attitude to high colour.
@emjay8 Mel - a colourful smoke shot & some editing indulgence. :)

love the perfume bottle, the subtleness of the underlying manuscript and the form and substance you've given the smoke in your processing!
